KARACHI: With reference to your
editorial “A concert banned” (August 30), I wish there were some way to stop this creeping
Talibanisation in our country, but I fear the situation is hopeless. My
granddaughter goes to a school where the female principal used to be very
liberal until a year ago. As the number of deeply religious female teachers in
the school increased, the principal not only started to cover herself from head
to toe, but the school is even forcing five-year old female students to wear
head scarves. As more and more people start adhering to extreme views on
religion, I am afraid musical concerts, plays and films will become a thing of
the past.
